چکیده

The cationic [2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxazolinato(-2)]oxorhenium(v) complex promotes oxidative dehydrogenation of organosilanes with water and alcohols in a catalytic manner to give excellent yields of silanols and silyl ethers, respectively. The reactions proceed conveniently under ambient and open-flask conditions with low catalyst loading (<or=1 mol%). The scope of the reaction with water is quite broad and includes aliphatic, aromatic, tertiary, secondary and primary silanes. The rate of reaction depends on the catalyst and silane concentrations and kinetic isotope effect measurements demonstrate involvement of the Si-H bond in the activated complex. The most influential factor on the silane affecting reactivity is steric hindrance and a quantitative correlation with the Taft steric parameter (E) is presented. A combination of kinetic data and isotope labelling results are used to discuss plausible mechanisms for the oxidative dehydrogenation reaction pathway.

The Alcoholysis Reaction of Isocyanates Giving Urethanes: Evidence for a Multimolecular Mechanism.

A kinetic and mechanistic investigation of the catalyzed alcoholysis of isocyanates was undertaken. Both experimental and theoretical results showed that the alcoholysis should be understood by a multimolecular intervention of the alcohols. The alcoholysis of isocyanate was examined experimentally for 2-propanol and cyclohexanol in low and high concentrations. It is suggested that either two or...

Activity and dynamics of an enzyme, pig liver esterase, in near-anhydrous conditions.

Water is widely assumed to be essential for life, although the exact molecular basis of this requirement is unclear. Water facilitates protein motions, and although enzyme activity has been demonstrated at low hydrations in organic solvents, such nonaqueous solvents may allow the necessary motions for catalysis. To examine enzyme function in the absence of solvation and bypass diffusional const...

Conformational rigidity of silicon-stereogenic silanes in asymmetric catalysis: A comparative study

In recent years, cyclic silicon-stereogenic silanes were successfully employed as stereoinducers in transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric transformations as exemplified by (1) the hydrosilylation of alkenes constituting a chirality transfer from silicon to carbon and (2) the kinetic resolution of racemic mixtures of alcohols by dehydrogenative silicon-oxygen coupling. In this investigation, a c...
